<P>This switch tells to WinRAR that there are no more switches in
the command line. It could be useful, if either archive or file name
starts from '-' character. Without '--' switch such a name would be
treated as a switch.</P>

<h1><B>Example</B></h1>

<P>add all files from the current folder to the <A HREF="HELPArcSolid.htm">
solid</A> archive <I>-StrangeName</I></P>
